I don't know if this has been seen here before I stumbled across it and I found it a interesting take!

I know its Barrett but some of what he says makes sense.

Especially about Jonesy.

Anyway interested in what others think.

Contradiction in terms there.

Don't know the guy but I get the feeling here that I must hate him!

So as a loyal Dee man, I Do.

Some of it does make sense.
The stuff about the recruiting is just him being dishonest. There was a logic for bringing in Pedersen, Byrnes, Gillies, Dawes and Rodan. The team lacked mature players with more than 3 years in the system. These blokes were bought in to prop those numbers up. It didn't work as in some of those blokes' cases, there is a big difference between not being able to get a game because of too much intra squad competition and being plain finished or not good enough. Luke Darcy made more sense on that end. He acknowledged what we were trying to achieve but pointed out that it hadn't worked.
Damo is being dishonest about this trading period as well. Our recruiting might not work but there is a logic behind it. If he waffles on about 'scattergun' recruiting then he is lying to himself.

Darcy and Barrett... I lasted about 30 seconds before vomit leaped up into my mouth and I wanted a frontal lobotomy.

I then turned it off.

Apologies if its been covered elsewhere but was that your " after grog blog " hash on Q & A Monday or are they stealing your legend ?
